Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 25, 1917.-

Application filed February 19, 1917. Serial No. 1491517.

' 10 and the object is to provide a pipe with an elongated stem arranged in a series of coils in order that the smoke may be cooled when the pipe is in use and the pipe conveniently carried; a further object being to provide efiective means for connecting the coils of the pipe at their lower portion for forming an integral member with separate chambers permittin the accumulation of moisture and the llke, and having a cap or closure for facilitating the cleaning of the pipe.

With these andother ob ectS in view, the invention consists in the novel construction hereinafter more particularly described and claimed. I In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a view of the pipe partly in side elevation and partly in vertical section.

Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view showing the form the lower portions of the coils are 85 bowl located on the opposite side. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary view in top plan. Fig. 4 is a vertical section through the lower connected portion of'the coils and is taken on line 4-4 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing a difierent form of bowl, and showing a slightly diflerent connection between the bowl and the coils.

.Fig. 6 shows the bowl connected at the upper portion of one of the coils, the bowl 40 being of still difi'erent formation.

Fig. 7 shows a coiled stem having the lower ends of the coils connected in substantially the same manner as in the other views, the upper end of one of the coils be- 4 ing connected with a cigar holder or ciga- 'rette holder.

The stem of the pipe formed of rubber or other material is first coiled in the manner indicated in Fig. 1 or as shown in certain of the other views, the free end of the stem being indicated by 10, and the oval-shape ,coils by 12. The coils are located with their walls substantiall in contact, and at the lower portion of t e series of coils the walls 14 are actually joined by vulcanization for the purpose 0 forming a substantially intedesi gral member. Outwardly or downwardly extending slotted portions are then formed as shown at 15, and the walls of these openings terminate in the same plane, in order that a moisture-proof connection may be formed with a flanged cap 16, which engages the outermost walls by a threaded connection indicated at 18.

The bowl 20' is shown in Fig. 1 as being connected by means of a threaded coupling 21 with the outermost coil; a continuous passage is thereby formed between the bowl and the end 10 of the stem, .lndependent drip chambers being also provided in view of the openings 15 above named. Upon theremoval of cap 16 all of these openings or chambers maybe cleaned at one time.

In Fig. 2 the construction is substantially the same as in Figs. 1, 3 and 4 with the exception that the bowl is secured on the op posite side, the view being in bottom plan. In Fig. 5 I-have shown another form of bowl indicated by 25,\ the coils being designated 12 as before, but it may be noted that the connection between the coils and the bowl is slightly different as indicated at 26, this connection constituting in effect a continuation of one of the coils 12. In this vulcanized to form a substantially integral member as indicated above.

gIn Fig. 6 another form of pipe bowl is ated 30, and this bowl is connected at-t e upper. portion of one of the coils instead of being connected at the lower portion. This connection is shown at 31 and the construction is otherwise similar to that already described.

In Fi 7 the construction corresponds to that s own in Fig. 6 except that instead of employing a bowl, a cigar or cigarette holder 35 is mounted on the upper end of one of the coils as indicated at 36. In each form the screw cap covering the drip chamber is of similarconstruction, and performs the same function.

What is claimed, is

1. In a smoking pipe, a bowl portion, a stem comprising a cylindrical tubular member and formed of a plurality of coils having their walls connected at their lower ends and slotted to form a plurality of openings extendin in the same direction, means for connectmg one of said openings and coils with the bowl, and single means for closing all of the other openings, and

sealin the coils for the purpose of forming a continuous duct.

2. In a smoking pipe, a bowl, a stem formed of a cylindrical tubular member of substantially uniform diameter, said tubular member comprising a plurality of coils similarly formed and in substantial alinement in a direction transversely of the coils, the walls of the lower portion of the coils being joined to form a substantially integral member and said member being slotted, the walls of the slots separating the ducts formed by the coils from each other,

and detachable means for closing all of the openings formed by the slots. I

3. In a smoking pipe, a bowl, a stem connected therewith and formed of a plurality of coils, with a continuous passage between the free end of the stem and the bowl, said stem comprising a cylindrical tubular member and the walls of the coils being joined at their lower portions and formin a substantially integral member, said coils having openings at corresponding portions thereof, and a detachable flanged cap engaging the outer portion of the inte al member, and the walls of the openings thereby separating the ducts formed by the coils from each other, and producing a continuous passage from the end of the stem to the bowl.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
